Enter as 'Folder:' a path name of the form \\servername\sharename and click 'Finish'.

For example the S-Disk with a lot of standard software can be mapped as '\\software-srv.science.ru.nl\software'.

On a PC or laptop not maintained by C&CZ it is convenient to use the same login name on the PC as the science login name, because Windows will try to use the local login name
to make the connection. In other cases one should select 'Connect using a different user name'.

Additional remarks

In general you need to know the server name and share name to connect to a network disk.

Most network disks are available directly from within the Radboud University network (i.e. from IP addresses in the range 131.174.0.0/16). From outside the RU use a Vpn tunnel to connect to a network disk.

A number of network disks or shares are available for science users:

Your science home directory - the server and share name can be found on dhz.science.ru.nl after 'Home disk at'. The server name is one of 'bundle.science.ru.nl', 'pile.science.ru.nl' or 'pluri.science.ru.nl'. The share name is always the same as your science login name.

The install share with most of the installer programs for software with a campus license (contact us for license details) - server: install-srv.science.ru.nl, share: install.

Most printers are also connected via this mechanism - server: printer-srv.science.ru.nl, share: the name of the printer.

Example for Windows: '\\printer-srv.science.ru.nl\gray'

Example for a Mac running MacOS 10.6: 'smb://printer-srv.science.ru.nl/gray' (see printers and printing for more details about authentication and enabling the possibility to connect printers using smb).
